Abstract
ABSTRACTSilicon nanowires are becoming more important because of increasing requirements of the small scale and dense integration of devices. We report a top-down fabrication method for silicon nanowires using high-energy ion beam irradiation of bulk p-type silicon followed by electrochemical etching. Silicon nanowires with a diameter of ∼50nm have been fabricated and densely patterned nanowire arrays fabricated in different resistivity silicon wafers. With a suitable support structure, free standing silicon nanowires are also achieved. We investigate results depending on silicon wafer resistivity and location within the irradiated area.
